Position Title

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
With all due respect, the question and notion is incredibly ridiculous.

If these are ECs that you would like make mention of, you are trying much to hard to fill up your application.

I can't imagine adcoms would appreciate fluff like this in an application.
 
traveling across the world and learning about culture and diversity is fluff?
i have been to 20 different countries
why do you study abroad then? lol

i think Beans was just pointing out that traveling and exercising are hobbies and not extracurricular activities. an extracurricular is typically some organized activity done in a group that someone else can vouch for you that you were there if necessary

if you want to list these things under extracurriculars its your app and your choice, i went to Egypt last summer and am leaving for Europe soon and did not put that on my app because it was for leisure and i didnt feel that it fit in the app, but that was my decision

if your traveling was done in a specific study abroad program you could put it under academic enrichment as it might be a better fit that way

Thanks for softening my words, Princess. 🙄😉

These are my thoughts exactly.

This is possible interview conversation material. Not filling your application up with fluff
